Hello everyone

Recently I limited the number of emails per day that each account can send through the use of 'limit' in /etc/virtual/.

At first sight, everything seemed to work well, but it turned out that:
- emails sent through a forwarder, were not added to the number of emails sent from that account
- this forwarded email does not arrive if the limit of user "unknown" is exceeded

I thought maybe this forwarded email was added to the limit of "unknown", but apparently this is not the case.

It looks like these forwarded messages are nowhere added and whether they do or do not arrive, depends on whether or not the limit of user unknown is exceeded.

Is this a bug?
 
Thanks for the quick reply, John!

I personally chose option 2 and have set a limit of 10,000 which seems to me more than sufficient.
